In Rainbows – New Radiohead album

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

inrainbows - radiohead website.png Radiohead have released a new album. In Rainbows is available as of today as a download-only zip-file from their website inrainbows.com. You can also order a discbox which consists of the new album on CD and on 2 x 12 inch heavyweight vinyl records . It comes along with a second, enhanced CD containing more new songs. The package also features digital photographs, artwork and lyric booklets, all encased in a hardback book and slipcase. The discbox can be ordered from the same website and ships for BPN 40,00 on or before Dec 3, 2007. It features 10 songs:

  • 15 STEP
  • BODYSNATCHERS
  • NUDE
  • WEIRD FISHES/ARPEGGI
  • ALL I NEED
  • FAUST ARP
  • RECKONER
  • HOUSE OF CARDS
  • JIGSAW FALLING INTO PLACE
  • VIDEOTAPE

The new album follows the avant-garde route the previous records have taken but, at first listen, appears more accessible than, for example, Kid A . Still it paints a bleak, desolate soundscape, interspersed by faster guitar tracks, which still cannot escape the melancholy . Download the new album from: inrainbows.com
